Service Update
July 8, 2021
College Park Family,
As you know, we changed to a Sunday schedule with two services for June and July, with services at 9 & 10:45 a.m. Our goals were to bring people together with a single between-service window and to maximize both worship and ministries.
Five weeks into that schedule, we've seen incredible benefits from this schedule as people have rekindled relationships, enjoyed coffee and donuts, and benefited from more margin for fellowship. We've also had some amazing services with baptisms and diving into Isaiah and Psalm 23.
Therefore, after analyzing our attendance numbers as people continue to return, we've decided to continue the two-service schedule indefinitely, with worship services at 9 & 10:45 a.m.
Additionally:
- Starting on August 8, Children’s Ministries will offer programming for:
- 9 a.m. - Nursery through 6th grade
- 10:45 a.m. - Nursery through 2nd grade
- Our Sunday classes will have a similar schedule to the current plans. Leaders will confirm the time and location.
- The Chapel will continue as overflow and more distanced seating as needed
- As part of our fall kickoff, our College Park Institute fall classes will start on Sunday, Aug. 1 at both 9 & 10:45 a.m.
- Children’s Ministries and Guest Services are in need of more volunteers - Serve in Children's | Serve in Guest Services
This schedule still provides ample room for inviting your neighbors, friends, and family. So be praying for whom God might be leading you to invite to come, worship, and hear the good news of our great Savior.
Pray with me that God works in mighty ways this fall as we strive with his help to ignite a passion to follow Jesus.
Paul Spilker
Lead Executive Pastor
